A New Sampling Method for Spleen Stiffness Measurement Based on Quantitative Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse Elastography for Noninvasive Assessment of Esophageal Varices in Newly Diagnosed HCV-Related Cirrhosis

<table>Fagan's Nomogram for esophageal varices (EV). Using the pretest probability for EV of 51.8% (the overall prevalence in our cohort), the posterior probability of having EV was 90%. LR: likelihood ratio; Prior Prob.: pretest (prior) probability; Posterior Prob.: posterior probability.</table>
